Tehkan World Cup - With Topper! :)
« on: April 03, 2014, 04:58:41 PM »
his Arrived Today, it needs quite a bit of work - but it is still a solid cab with lots of spares  ;D
We should have this ready in time for the World Cup!



The vinyl and artwork is damaged - but there is enough to scan rebuild and restore it
AND it has the Footballer 'intact' - Very Happy about that!  ;D



The other side has fared slightly better - i'm sure the metal corner caps have helped it over the years...



The one player side is in great condition - the other side has a bad rip across the corner...



The 'Does it really exist? ' Topper is in very good condition - with minor artwork damage



Inside is all original - and will need completely stripping down & refurbishing (New Caps/connectors etc)



Best of all it came with loads of spares! some NOS!  ;D

I'll post a complete strip down and refurbishment thread when we start!

nice catch, but ...

(a) ... that topper looks as if it didn't belong there - imho totally out of place and destroying the artwork!
(b) ... who are you? how about a short introduction?

(a) I know what you mean - it is original and we will probably take precautions so it doesn't damage any artwork
     Do you know if this topper was available in Europe or was it just a UK only version?

(b) My Apologies, I've Introduced myself in the relevant forum https://www.dragonslairfans.com/smfor/index.php?topic=5352.0 :)

Great looking table! - not many of them around!
I have never seen that topper before, so properly only existed in the UK... also, looks really custom made :P ;D

i have seen this cab quite often. i was looking for one since 2 years now. but never ever ever with the topper. i doubt this is original. it is ugly as hell. :D
ruins the cab for me. i would take it off... but just my 2 cents.

The topper was an optional extra. Most Ops didn't take it. Extremely rare!
